Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: node Weak 4j Bilaterally expressed.
TS12: lateral plate mesoderm Absent 4j

Specimen 4k: embryonic day 8.0; Zic2iso/Zic2iso (more )
Note: 4-somite stage
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: node Absent 4k
TS12: lateral plate mesoderm Weak Regionally restricted 4k Expressed in the left side.

Specimen 4l: embryonic day 8.0; Zic2iso/Zic2iso (more )
Note: 4-somite stage
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: node Weak 4l Bilaterally expressed (L>R).
TS12: lateral plate mesoderm Weak Regionally restricted 4l Expressed in the right side.

Specimen not shown WT/Het: embryonic day 8.0 (more )
Note: 2-6 somites, summarized in Fig 4n
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: lateral plate mesoderm Present Regionally restricted Expressed in all wild-type embryos from 2 to 6 somites and was restricted to the left side. Strong expression in 13 out of 15 embryos. Weak expression in 2 embryos.

Specimen not shown WT/Het: embryonic day 8.0 (more )
Note: 1-7 somites, summarized in Fig 4m
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: node Present Strong expression was enriched on the left side of the node (L>R) in 10 out of 18 embryos of 1-5 somites, enriched on the right side in one (L<R, 6 somites), and equally expressed (L=R) in 5 embryos of 1-4 somites. Weak expression enriched on the left side in two (L>R, one 6 somites, one 7 somites).

Specimen not shown iso/iso: embryonic day 8.0; Zic2iso/Zic2iso (more )
Note: 2-4 somites, summarized in Fig 4m
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: node Weak Weak expression was only detectable in early somite stages (2 to 4 somites) mutant embryos (4 out of 8): enriched on the left side (L>R) in 2 embryos, equally (L=R) in one, and enriched on the right side (L<R) in one.

Specimen not shown iso/iso: embryonic day 8.0; Zic2iso/Zic2iso (more )
Note: 4-6 somites, summarized in Fig 4m
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: node Absent No expression in 3 out of 8 embryos.

Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: node Strong Bilaterally expressed (L=R) in 1 out of 8 embryos.

Specimen not shown iso/iso: embryonic day 8.0; Zic2iso/Zic2iso (more )
Note: 1-7 somites, summarized in Fig 4n
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: lateral plate mesoderm Absent No expression in most of the embryos (6 of 8).

Specimen not shown iso/iso: embryonic day 8.0; Zic2iso/Zic2iso (more )
Note: 4 somites, summarized in Fig 4n
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS12: lateral plate mesoderm Weak In two mutant embryos with expression, it was weak and either in the left or in the right side.
